Good morning, Dolly.
How are you doing? Haven't seen much of you.

Sending you some WFW wishes.
Stay warm!

Have a beautiful day.

[Lady Jag]

You know your little bud better than anyone. If her condition is not static, if you think she's improving, wait and watch. Sometimes that's better on the baby than more changes.

Happy WFW, Meg.

Thank you for that cute deer graphic.

Happy to hear that you are feeling better.
Hoping the change in the weather will clear all the pollens from the air.

Those Koalas are so cute!

[DollyCali]

we are really (REALLY) buried in snow - last weather alert says to expect 6-8 more inches by 4 - we already have at least foot atop the prior foot or so from weeks past that doesnt melt when temps are in teens

hoping the roof holds up

feeding & fresh water for birds regularly

Will get dogs out in back yard after lunch -Already had two shorter walks on leashes in street

no driving anywhere. no plows yet & I am certain Bible study for tonight will be cancelled

other than that same-same here . keep too busy & still annoyed with cast (13 weeks now)

[JustAmy]

I saw Cleveland weather made the news. Is all of Ohio snowed in?

Haven’t heard from Dutchess ... is Columbus having this awfully cold weather too?

You and your Mom should move to Sunny, but sorta cold, California.

When does the cast come off?

Stay warm!!!

[DollyCali]

I am looking over Yuma - RED state & 2 hours from California beach

[JustAmy]

Good morning/afternoon, GeeBee.
Happy WFW! Bet BooBoo is enjoying her snow day.

That doe does look like she posed for the picture.
Thank you for sharing it.

Have a WARM Fuzzy Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

Sounds like a good choice.

We keep talking about leaving California. It is a tough decision. We have one child and he is not ready to change jobs.

I also need to go to court to see if I can get legal custody of Marissa. Her mom is in BIG trouble again. I would be afraid to move her out of state without the right to do so.

Hi sistahs. Am snowed in and “playing” at home today. We got about 10 inches. Shoveled a little path for Giz. The snow in many places comes up to Susie’s neck and she absolutely loves playing in it. She definately is a mini Rusty. Anyway saw your pings and wanted to pop in and say ‘Hi”.

[JustAmy]

I am so happy to see you, Dutchess.
I look forward to when you can come by to play more often.
We miss you.
How is Giz doing? It sounds like Susie found a great home.

Hope you have a WFW. Stay WARM!
Don't be a stranger. :)

Yorkie. Saw billie's ping about your precious Lindy. As billie said our shitzu, Gizmo, lost the use of his back legs about 3 months ago, out of the blue (he's around 15) Like Lindy there is no pain. The vet thought it might be something neurological. At his age we didn't want to put him through extensive tests or surgery. We did get a cart for him (caution, VERY EXPENSIVE) and he did okay with it BUT you can't leave them in it for long periods of time or unattended. We also found out that it really set him back as he has learned to walk a little dragging his back legs without the cart, and after being in the cart it would mess up his balance. He seems very comfortable and has a great appetite so we feel blessed about that. I would just try to let Lindy be as independent as possible and don't make him (her?) feel "handicapped" (Got that from an episode of the Dog Whisperer LOL)

Good luck!

[dutchess]

Hey Amy. See the above post about Giz that I wrote to Yorkie and billie. He looks more and more like a little old man and has developed a little ornary man “tude”. It’s really quite funny and we’re just appreciating every minute we have with him. It’s really good to see you to! How’s PrissyMissy doing?

[La Enchiladita]

Oh gosh, (((Yorkie))), I am so sorry for Lindy and for you...:(

[La Enchiladita]

This is soothing music at any time of the day or night. Thank you, Billie:)

[La Enchiladita]

(((Meggers!!:))), I am so happy for you that you are feeling better!! Let’s stay that way now!!

The wild green parrots of Los Angeles are visiting my neighborhood lately. I stopped to watch a flock that landed yesterday in a magnolia tree. A lady who was walking her chee-wa told me they became wild after the Bel-Air fire in 1961. They are not native and were being kept in a private zoo there, escaped, multiplied and became “naturalized” over the years.

I need to catch up on some of the wonderful other birdies I have been spying, ID them and get photos up here eventually.

Enjoy WFW!!

[La Enchiladita]

Awww, how sweet.
Hope you and Booboo are enjoying a warm, fuzzy Snow Day:-).

[JustAmy]

PrissyMissy is 9yo and in the 3rd grade.
She is growing up too fast!

The other day she came home from school telling me about "Jacob".
They had been hanging out. (Don't know what that means)
Anyway, she just found out that he likes her too.
She told me how smart he is. She knows that is important. :)
I decided against telling her again that she was too young for crushes.

What will I do in 5 years?

Have a lovely day, Dutchess. We miss you here.

[La Enchiladita]

Nice poem for the birds. There is a Black Phoebe trying to get me to put out seed for her. Just trying to find a safe spot/way to do it so the squirrels don’t get it all.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Mayor.
The weather that you are having sounds wicked!
Hope you are working indoors.

Thank you for bringing another DB lesson.
I really like this ...

"If you sow seeds of wickedness,
Sin’s harvest you will reap;
But scattered seeds of righteousness
Yield blessings you can keep."
~ Sper ~

Thank you!
